Thème: Les préjugés, cause de conflits.
" L'hospitalité et les enfants ont toujours été importants pour moi. Ma mère nous réunissait avec les enfants des voisinantes dans la cour pour s'amuser et pour son plaisir à elle. Elle devenait la gardienne de tout ce petit monde. Je l'ai personnifié par une animatrice de télévision que j'aimais beaucoup et que je trouvais jolie. Ma mère l'était. Bien sûr, on n'a jamais eu de cheval dans la cour mais, des balançoires. On ne faisait pas de châteaux de sable mais des cabanes. On ne jouait pas non plus aux dames mais aux madames avec des vêtements empruntés; et au docteur et à l'infirmière. La cour était toujours pleine ou presque. On y faisait du théâtre et des défilés de mariés. Et, vers la fin de la journée, maman donnait à chacun, chacune, une pomme de terre qu'on devait éplucher et lui remettre chacun notre tour pour qu'elle la coupe et fasse des frites. Personne n'était oublié! Et, dans la cour, il n'y vait pas de préjugés à tous les niveaux de la vie. Dans ce collage, on y voit les enfants qui jouent ensemble, qu'ils soient de race blanche ou noire. L'hospitalité est présente pour tous, tout comme cela l'est dans les garderies où sont allés certains de mes petits enfantrs. Tous sur le même pied d'égalité! Les enfants ont fait une amusante tornade dont les tours emportées sont les institutions et les gens bien nantis qui ont des sous, surtout les snobs qui les dédaignent. Ils ont fini leur rage et leur idéologie de la vie quand le sport a pris la forme d'un papillon sous l'oeil amusé d'un scientifique au coeur d'enfant et que la tornade des préjugés des adultes ait fait sauter un jouet: un soldat de bois, un fou. Le présent nous oblige à endurer les vrais meurtriers dans les guerres des adultes. J'espère seulement que les enfants déjoueront toujours les préjugés négatifs, à défaut de les faire se taire malicieusement.

Thérèse Richard was born in Montreal in 1930 in the Rosemont district. She evolved with a pen in one hand, colored pencils in the other and a good dose of talent for animation.

Before her marriage, she worked as a secretary at the St-Jean-Baptiste Society as well as for the Ste-Croix Fathers at Éditions Fidès and at St-Joseph's Oratory. She was also responsible for the J.O.C. (Jeunesse Ouvrière Catholique) on a voluntary basis, particularly in the Rosemont district.

Mother of 6 children, grandmother and great-grandmother, her life has been full. And, each holds a special place in their hearts.

But his journey has been strewn with pitfalls. His life was marked in a singular way by a divorce which occurred at a time when this was not commonplace. The situation was far from easy. Despite everything, she went through the trials with courage and creativity. His spirituality and personal growth classes have helped him come to grips with and cope with the music.

On the other hand, artistic activities served as a stick of resilience. This served as a release, an outlet to successfully get through. She therefore values ​​art as a tool for personal growth or mental survival in adversity by escaping into the imagination.

Along her journey, she got involved in various ways with those who had a similar experience: women, children, single-parent families; but also the elderly. This, by bringing his talents as a contribution to promote the development of each. And, many are the activities constituting his baggage. However, not everything can be listed here. But, here are a few…

Advocating for the cause of women, she worked within the AFEAS organization where she did a lot of animation. Journalistic talents in her pocket, she naturally took the path of writing to write the organization's regional newsletter, "Le lien". She also wrote a column that appeared in the Guide de Montréal-Nord. She even assumed the role of president of the Association des Femmes chefs de famille at the CLSC de Montréal-Nord for a while.

These same talents were put at the service of the children. Moreover, the “Parent-secours” organization has benefited from his involvement in setting up a network in Montreal North. She also acted as a liaison officer and editor for the Guide de Montréal-Nord to represent the organization and raise public awareness.

And, advocating the development of children through sport, she also got involved in the Gymkana Gymnastics Club. She was a "speaker", editor and publicist via, once again, the Guide de Montréal-Nord. Although his words were sometimes incisive, they were always used with tact and diplomacy. And, they still served a worthy cause.

Later, it was the elderly who benefited from his ...
